Nicole (hurricane) impact

Just to let members know, Nicole knocked out power to our home for almost the last 2 days. That's why I haven't been able to respond to comments. Thankfully, no home damage. Lots of debris in the yard. The last 2 have passed over us and I don't want this to become a habit.

Veteran's Day

With respect, honor and gratitude, thank you veterans.

when a mistake lasts 50 years

During the pandemic I sold my first item on eBay, so I wanted a means of shipping...I found online that I could open a UPS account. Got a really good discount, to illustrate--

Say I wanted to ship a 3 lb box from PA to CT. If I walked into a UPS Store, the going rate would be about $21.

Odd Cemetery Names

Most of you who have been around the Factory any length of time, probably know me as the Cemetery guy. I thought I would share some odd cemetery names I came across in Missouri. Some of them probably have an interesting story behind them. Other states probably have some just as odd. Let me know if you have ever came across any other strange ones.

Powerball

I bought a single Powerball $2 ticket for last night's drawing and I hit only one number. Nobody hit all the numbers so the next drawing on Wednesday goes to $1.2 billion.

fun with gmail

I've had it since 2005, when we had to be "invited" to get an account lol

I decided we better spend the FSA dollars because as usual, unneeded.

Halloween

I don't see that anyone has posted anything about Halloween. With Halloween being a time for gremlins and goblins I chose the post subject as simply Halloween instead of Happy Halloween. Scary Halloween might have been an appropriate subject heading.

New portable screens with Apple Carplay and Android Auto

I just notice few days ago that there few portable display screens with Apple Carplay and Android Auto built-in. You pair these devices with your phone via Bluetooth to user Google maps or Waze or other maps on your phone for navigation. Some of these devices also come with maps pre-installed. You can either use built-in speakers for audio or auxiliary cable for audio in or Bluetooth.

Costco and shopping carts (since we're on the subject lol)

I'm a Costco fanboy, so let's get that out of the way up front.

I think that overall, they don't gouge, they seem to be the place for tires and batteries, and as we learned in 2020, the place that doesn't take advantage, when items are on short supply.

Anyway, one downside, is there are always shopping carts everywhere. Seemingly more so, than any other chain store. Does anyone know why?

iOS 16.1 is...

...now installed on my iPhone X.
